Rado and Mann Hann, Again

Not a grocery day.  Thus, will leave home after lunch to attend the anticipated Mass.  I will be wearing my Rado Centrix Diamonds on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right wrist.

Left around 3PM and arrived early at the Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel.  I was able to join the community to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Rosary.

The Mass presider is Fr. Benny.

The message of the Gospel is:  When the time comes, will He recognize us?

God created us.  He sustains us.  Our destiny is to be with God.  But will we?

In the first reading, the question is "How will we be saved?".  The response is in the second reading:  Discipline.  The Gospel says, "strive to enter the narrow gate".

God is merciful and kind.  He is also just.

Hell is the absence of love.  Hell is the absence of God.  Hell is being in sin.

After the Mass, I went to Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark.  It is one of the Jubilee churches.  I am hoping to gain a plenary indulgence and I offer it for my Uncle Bebeng.  He was our doctor that we often go to if we are sick when were children.

Then, I went to Rado at Glorietta.  I have been eyeing two watches from Rado.  

First is the Captain Cook Over-Pole Limited Edition.  It is handwiding--I am partial to manual winding.  This is my version of a GMT watch.  Basically, it has the same purpose as GMT.

The second is the Captain Cook Automatic, which is my diver's watch... even if I don't dive.  LOL

I already have a dress watch with my Centrix Automatic Diamonds.

Happy with my purchases (since it is available in the store, it must really be for me 😉) I went to Mann Hann to buy food-to-go.  Bought Tausi Fish Fillet (PhP505.00), Garlic Kangkong (PhP295.00), and (half) Roast Chicken (PhP505.00).

Dropped my purchases to Edgar, the driver, to check Swatch and to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for my frappuccino fix.

I actually bought the Ocean of Storms in Lazada at a very low price.  I asked the seller if it is (a) original, (b) imitation with the original's logo, or (c) imitation with no logo.  If the answer is (b), I would not be buying it.  But the response is "The products we sell are all Swiss made Swatches, original and authentic."  So....?

The watch is not readily available in the store at Glorietta but they have a sample.  I wonder why...?

Then, I went to CBTL to buy frappuccino-to-go.

And, home.
